Synopsis
Countrymen (Jordbrukerne, 2021) is a Norwegian comedy-drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Four men with dubious plans relocate to a remote farm in Telemark. None of them have any background in agriculture — that's a deliberate understatement.
Events conspire against whatever they originally had in mind, and the group ends up founding Norway's first halal dairy farm largely through circumstance. Nader Khademi, Ayaz Hussain, Jonas Strandt Gravli, and Arben Bala play the four leads; Izer Aliu, Aurora Langaas Gossé, and Brwa Vahabpour directed.
This is Scandinavian comedy that earns its warmth rather than announcing it — the fish-out-of-water premise is played straight, and the immigrant experience in rural Norway gets a fair, unsentimental look. Stream Countrymen online on iFILM.
